Due to a mid-foot sprain suffered in the National Championship Game back in January, former Ohio State wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. didn’t workout at either the NFL Combine or the Buckeye’s first pro day. Ginn did run Wednesday at OSU’s second pro day, however, and according to the Columbus Dispatch, he ran quite well.
Ginn ran a 4.4 40-yard dash, proving that his foot injury shouldn’t hinder his stock in this month’s draft. Prior to running the 40, many scouts feared that he would probably drop out of the first 15 picks. I’ll admit I had him landing No. 23 to Kansas City in my second mock draft, but that had more to do with how many free agent wide receivers moved in the offseason than Ginn’s talent. He’s explosive with the ball in his hands, a true playmaker not only as a receiver but a returner as well. Just based on how valuable Devin Hester was in the return game last year to the Bears, Ginn will certainly get a look in the top 15, if not the top 10.
